Oscillatory nonautonomous Lucas sequences (Q606246)

Summary: The oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the second-order linear nonautonomous equation \(x(n+1)=a(n)x(n) - b(n)x(n - 1), n\in \mathbb N_{0},\) where \(a,b:\mathbb N_{0}\rightarrow \mathbb R\), is studied. Under the assumption that the sequence \(b(n)\) dominates somehow \(a(n)\), the amplitude of the oscillations and the asymptotic behavior of its solutions are also analyzed.
